storm on the horizon

*Sota* · 06-02-2019, 06:29 PM

All at once Sota too could feel the pressure shift, and as a breeze rolled in from the sea he felt a shiver crawl down his spine. The way the wind made the grasses ripple only seemed to intensify as an invisible barrier broke and a wall of rain began to pour down relentlessly onto the earth. With the rain came a loud crack of thunder that made him twitch, wishing he had a large tree to climb into. Sota had witnessed enough lightning storms in his short life to know that perhaps trees weren't always the safest place to seek shelter, but that didn't stop him from nervously fidgeting and searching the horizon for any trees that might be suitable. Of course, there were none, and so his attention turned to the nearest thing that might have an answer... a stranger who just so happened to be nearby. One who, hopefully, wasn't completely terrifying.

Though he'd been briefly able to make out her silhouette, the rain only seemed to increase in intensity, and obscured most of her features from him. He squinted hard at her, but it was hard to make out much, and he took a few cautious steps closer, his ears pinned against his skull - both in an attempt to shield them from the rain as much out of nervousness in her presence. "Shelter," he repeated in confirmation with a nod, once he finally lifted his muzzle from its bowed position. He was struggling hard to make out her expression from the heavy ran that had arrived, to little avail. Truthfully, Sota was unaccustomed to traveling near the ocean and he wasn't quite sure what to make of the storm that had rolled in so suddenly. It seemed more intense than the weather he was used to, so finding shelter now seemed imperative.

Luckily, she caught on, though admitted she was new to these parts as well. Unfortunate. However, she also explained she'd passed a den, which would definitely work as shelter. He could only hope there would be room for two. Sota nodded in understanding. "I - yes, let's look together," he agreed hesitantly, understandably uncomfortable at the thought of asking for help. Balsam would never let him live this one down, if he were here. Framing it as a joint effort was definitely preferably, and made him feel less uneasy. Nodding yet again, he loped a bit closer to her, tilting his head as if inviting her to lead the way.
